How many seats does the 2023 Jeep Grand Cherokee have?

Five people can ride in the standard 2023 Jeep Grand Cherokee: two in the front and three in the back. Higher trims add Nappa leather upholstery, heating, and ventilation to both rows without changing the layout. Throw in the optional, adjustable air suspension and four-zone climate control and you’ve got an upscale lounge on wheels.

Do all Grand Cherokees have two rows of seats?

No. In every Jeep Grand Cherokee, there are five seats in two rows. However, the Jeep Grand Cherokee L accommodates three rows and up to six passengers if you convert the second-row captain’s chairs into a bench. The Grand Cherokee L is available in every trim (including the standard
Limited
) except the

Dimensions

With a ground clearance of 8.4 to 10.9 inches, you'll have to hoist yourself into the 2023 Grand Cherokee. You'll find reclining seatbacks in the second row, and enough room for passengers six feet tall. 
In the Grand Cherokee L, the second-row captain's chairs or optional bench seats tilt and slide to provide access to the seats behind. Unlike most other three-row SUVs, the Grand Cherokee L's third row isn't just for kids; adults will enjoy plenty of room.

Cargo space

Behind the second row of the 2023 Grand Cherokee is a massive cargo hold with a capacity of 37.7 cubic feet. With all the seats folded down flat, it can expand to just over 70 cubic feet. Towing capacity starts at 6,200 lbs with the standard 293-horsepower 3.6-liter V6 engine and increases to 7,200 lbs with the optional 357-horsepower 5.7-liter HEMI V8 and Tow package.
In exchange for its spacious third row, the Grand Cherokee L offers just 17.2 cubic feet of cargo space. With all the seats folded flat, you'll have 84.6 cubic feet to work with. It has the same towing capacity as the regular Cherokee, but be careful not to overload it, since it’s about 400 pounds heavier.
